The Competitive World of Speed-Stacking

The clash of cultures continues...

Thanks to relative who sent over the equipment with Del and Sharon, Thailand has now been introduced to the sport of "speed-stacking." As Jake will demonstrate in the following video, you place your hands on a timer (which starts as soon as you lift up your hands, then stack several cups and return them to their original position before returning your hands to the timer. Jake and Meg have both been actively preparing themselves to compete in the sport's inaugural even in Southeast Asia, which will consist of me, Jake, and possibly Meg.

Kaddi and I are actively encouraging Jake's newfound devotion in this sport, we're hoping that years of practice during his formative years will prepare him for a future career in the catering business, or perhaps even get him his first apprenticeship as a carni.

Too bad Jake can't work a hidden firecracker into that very cool routine.

I think there is big money to be made in this sport if you can just hang in until the endorsements start rolling in so keep at it Jake!

Love,
